Experience Psychology ISE by Laura King
This book aims to shine a light illuminating stories of courage, often against incredible odds, capturing experiences from around the world from people of black heritage. It will take you on a journey to many countries, people, times and events. Some stories will be familiar. But there are far too much that was worryingly new. Achievements and successes against incredible odds were numerous. Many doors opened revealing more horror, racism, prejudice and discrimination. The aim is to bring the Black narrative, the Black experience, and Black contributions, positive and negative, to a wider audience.
